Dear Friends and Fans, 8/16/98 2 months have come and gone and The John Entwistle Band is now on a well deserved break. This was a hard tour because the schedule was constantly being modified. As many of you know the office was closed for the duration tour because we enlisted most of our employees for “road duty” since we once again lost some key personnel along the way. Even Cody (the dog pictured on Steve’s page in the 96’ tour book) joined the tour for 5 or 6 weeks. Cody enjoyed being with the band at the meet and greets after the shows and even signed a few autographs. The dates for the 2nd leg of the tour are starting to come in. The office will be open for this leg and the information will be a lot more consistent. The 2nd leg is scheduled to kick off around the 1st of October. Many of the areas that were missed on the 1st leg will be covered and some areas will be revisited. John and the band were glad to see old friends and meet some new ones this time out. They are looking forward to meeting more of you on the 2nd leg. The “live” recordings of the shows came out great!!! John and Steve have already mixed a version of “Had Enough” and “Shakin’ All Over”. They will be mixing the others as soon as possible, but they agreed they would like to record some more material on the next leg. Suggestions are always welcome. If there are any songs that you would like to hear on The John Entwistle Band “Left For Live” album, please feel free to send in an e-mail with your choices. The band will rehearse in at John’s estate in England and then return to the states to begin the tour. We will be sending out information on purchasing one of the 1998 tour shirts for those of you that missed out. MSH Records has set a “new release date” for the John Entwistle Band studio album. They are now ready to release it on or about October 1st just in time for the 2nd leg. We all have our fingers crossed! Cheers!
